[Q] Tethering / mobile wifi problem with official jb ftf - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Has anyone else had a problem tethering or using the portable wifi hotspot feature since flashing this jb ftf?
Everything else seems fine, and when I tethered my T to my laptop previously using 223 it was fine and was superfast internet, around 10 mb a second download.
However, since updating, the select the tethering option etc. and the laptop connects via usb / wifi depending on what I am using, but there is no internet connection, nothing will download etc. on the laptop (running W 7 Ultimate). The laptop is exactly the same as previous, so it is something in this jb ftf. Unless I have forgotten a setting of some kind, I just can't get it to work either tethered or as a portable wifi.
I'm using a T on orange contract, unlocked bl, official generic jb ftf. I can access the internet on the T whilst tethered. It is the stock kernel too, reflashed after rooting using the doomlord method. Wifi works on the T etc.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

[Q] Tether and Wifi Tether not working

Hi World,
I recently updated my phone to 2.2 with odin. I used just the CODE_I9000DXJPA file and did not use any PIT, PDA or CSC file. The phone works fine with data, it just wont tether to my laptop.
Im in Indonesia and have the GT-I9000HKAXSE version. I did the flash with the JPA file only because i could not find CSC and PDA files for my version anywhere :S.
Please help!
Cheers,
Xplice
Hi,
Can you be more specific on the error?
If you are using USB Tethering, make sure your PC have the correct Samsung drivers by installing the latest Kies.
For WiFi Tethering (Mobile AP), do you see the "Mobile AP activated" message on the notification bar? Did you enter the correct SSID & Password in your Laptop?
I also encounter problems with the built in USB/WiFi tethering feature, the internet disconnects intermittently. I am now using Wireless Tether for Root Users app that is available in the Android Market. Try it and see if it works.
btw you need to root your phone first..
Hi,
It is Rooted
There is no error - it just does not work. Data works fine on the phone but for Wifi tether, usb tether and bluetooth tether it says connected and looks fine but does not work.
I don't use kies because it sux
Cheers,
Immanuel

Maybe you want to try out some custom ROM? The one I am using now this one:

I have no issue with tethering.
Just curious, how did you enable bluetooth tethering, I can't find such option in my SGS.
Hi !
i've the same problem.
I'm in france and the tethering doesn't work alone.
The trick is to enter, on your laptop, the right DNS of your provider.
The best is to create a batch file to add and remove the DNS config ;-)
Now you have just to find the DNS ^^

Hi,
Try sla92's suggestion if it will work for you, if you don't know any DNS, try www.OpenDNS.com.
Can you tether before updating your SGS to 2.2? If yes, it might be a bad flash.. try to hard reset. If still have problems, flash a new rom as suggested by xplice.
or update via Kies using Registry Hack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628 this is what I did to update my SGS.
Yeah all tethering worked great on 2.1 :s..... Now none work!
Does anyone know where i can get the PIT, PDA or CSC files for my region (indonesia) ?? I can only find the Europe ones... My suspicion is it is a problem with that as the CSC file controls the radios??
For bluetooth teather you just have to connect via bluetooth to your pc and add as a trusted device and then your pc will see it as a modem, just make sure you give it the right APN for your providor.

[Q] Xperia ZR WiFi Troubleshot

I need help, my Xperia ZR cant connect to 2.4 GHz networks, it detect them, but when you try to connect, they go all the way down and it appears as "out of range", I have tried several 2.4 networks, until today I tried with a 5.0 GHz router and it connected in less than 1 second, so I dont know how to fix this problem, I would appreciate step by step instructions, like what to download and how to proceed, noob style.
I have tried PC companion factory reset, I have the latest update, and it did not solve the problem, I found this solution, but I dont know how to do it or if it would solve my problem:
This is an official solution I found after weeks of testing and research. In the end, the driver is not loaded properly or by default, custom ROM created the havoc.
I noticed that when running ADB GUI, there is this file missing from /system/data/misc/wifi called WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini .
I'm using ADB Helper Version 4.2.0.0, under build.prop Viewer tab, choose wlan.driver.config it points to that location. I downloaded it from somewhere on the Xperia developer forum website. Then I modified and modified until I found the solution.
In this file I modified the line gDotMode=3 (which is running in N mode only) to either 1 or 2 which s "a" or "b" mode.
I rebooted the device and the wifi works and N mode is disabled meaning you wont be able to connect in 5GHz mode anymore. But you will be able to connect to all the CURRENT 2.4GHz AP.
I read somewhere where ICS android allows you to Enable or Disable 5GHz scanning of AP. But was removed from later versions.
Now, my phone can connect to any 2.4GHz WiFi.
Thanks for any help

[Q] Tethering Problem

Hey guys,
I have a Z1 C903, which doesn't work as a wifi tether nor bluetooth tether. I can turn it on, and other devices can see it, however when trying to connect, the signal drops completely.
If I wait the signal will restart and become full strength, where I will need to manually connect, which proceeds to the signal disappearing again. I've tried unsecure, wpa2, wpa to which I have no luck either. Devices such as laptop will say limited connection, whereas android tablets and phones will refuse to connect and will say "Saved, secured with WPA2" or something else if i change the password method.
I've tried searching for any reports of wifi tethering not working, but the problems seem to be different from my situation.
More details on my device:
It has an unlocked bootloader
Now running Paranoid android
Problem occurred on stock 4.3, nut 4.4 (I assumed it was a glitch on Sony's drivers, and have waited for months now for a patch)
Could a faulty TA do this?
Any ideas?
Am I f***ed?
Cheers

Flash your phone by flash tools including wipe apps log and cache and system
It should solve your problem
And of course first re-lock your BL and flash to stock Rom

Sorry about late reply, I am out in urban areas without internet connection. I'll try doing this tonight.
Am I right in assuming all Z1 CM ROMs have this problem, if I must install a stock-based ROM?

Oh, sorry I forgot to tell you
You should use stock rom

Go here and fun your phone model and download the version and region you want

You can try to change the name of your phone (Network SSID) to a simpler form instead of default.
I got it working
I got it working thanks to your suggestion, Saeed.
I flashed the stock ftf from the mega thread and that restored my tethering capabilities. I then proceeded to reinstall the ParanoidRom and now the tethering works as well.
I'm not sure what happened, but I'd assume something went wrong when upgrading to 4.3 and the problem stayed when I then upgraded again to 4.4 and then to paranoid.
Thanks

USB tethering keeps breaking

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my P7 and usb tethering. The internet connection keeps breaking. Both 3g and lte. Every 10mins or so. And when it happens, I have to manually reset (turnn off/turn on) the mobile data connection to make it work. I haven't been able to find out if the internet connection itself gets stuck, or the usb tethering.
Any ideas?

Are you on a custom rom or stock? If on custom rom try other rom or try stock rom, if on stock rom try different update (133, 135, 136, etc.).
I am on stock 133 and did not have those problems with internet tethering.
Cheers

Having hotspot tethering issue after upgrade to Pie

Hi everyone,
I was successful update OTA of Pie on my XZ2. I have a problem to connect hotspot tethering from my XZ2 to laptop.
Technically, it's show that my XZ2 is connected to laptop but "no internet"
I have try a reset password, reboot both phone and laptop but it is no luck.
Have any members here are having this problem like me? Please help to advise.
With regards,
imkr
I have same hotspot difficulty with pie. Devices connect to hotspot but receive no internet - and there seems to be no answers
Weird.
It works at my site.
Bluetooth and USB tethering.
H8296 rev2
German h8266 firmware.
Full wipe and flash with newflasher.
Using Linux Mint Cinnamon x64 19.0 on a ThinkPad T460P.
Usb3.0 & Bluetooth 4.1
weird and annoying.
usb tethering the same. Connects but wont give access with any device I care to try (other androids, laptop pc, desktop pc, linux, windows...)
My device - Syberia ROM on redmi note 4X (mido) - tried 2 other pie based roms with the same outcome.
I've had to revert to miui 10 beta as I need a hotspot...

WORK-AROUND : Managed to Wi-Fi tether using AdGuard VPN (which isn't really a VPN) and VPN Hotspot app - Both from xda. The data is coming through, YAY! now I can keep Syberia!
I think I've been lucky, I have a UK customised Rev3 H8216 and have hand none of these issues.
However I did get the banding on my screen ( after Pie update), I powered off my phone over night and it's not appeared since.
My point is that no matter rev version you have, There's a problem somewhere in the XZ2
Guys,
I could access internet via tethering hotspot by now.
I changed device name, new password and paired with my laptop. Then, rebooted again and again.
I am not sure if this few settings worked. It's work in my case in Cambodia.
Cheers,
MKR
